Corteo dei Re Magi
Legend says the remains of the three wise men are buried in Milan. Be that as it may, each
year on 6 January they parade in costume from the Duomo to the Porta Ticinese.
Carnevale Ambrosian
Lent comes late to the Milanese Ambrosian church, with Carnevale sensibly held on the
Saturday that falls after everyone else's frantic Fat Tuesday.
